In 1974, Stephane Kéloglanian joins his two brothers, four years later , in 1978, they create together the women line under the name Stephane Kélian. (This is the contraction of the name Kéloglanian). Stephane Kélian works for the biggest fashion houses from Issey Miyake to Montana or Jean Paul Gaultier.
